Onemay- If you have a receipt notice for your H4...ask them if that helps along with your husbands H1 visa.

Your husband's H1 will determine the validity period of your visa...so that might help.

there were 144,000 PERM's done between oct 2006- march 2007

india, china have retro for both EB2 and EB3 mexico, philippines and bunch of other countries have retro for EB3

PERM is only for the Primary applicant. For I-485 every dependent of Primary applicant needs one separate application

Considering all these 750,000 I-485 filings in next 1 month sounds a reasonable estimate.

Many who had labor pending under the old system, applied in PERM also. So it is 144k minus duplicates. But, I have no idea know many are duplicates

Guys,

Keep the cool. USCIS is very unpredictable as we all have seen. Get ready to see the dates move forward pretty quickly this year! There are more chances to have increased visa numbers and things can only go UP from here on.

Watch the documentray "The Secret" and put your positive thoughts out there...

Diptam, Thanks for the updates. My husband's I-140 is pending at TSC for an year now and employer is not agreeing to sign on form 7001. Can we send an e-mail to Omburdsman and expect some action to be taken?? does it help?

Heres the sliver lining of all this immigration mess. So I wonder if GC had been a smooth process would I have still discovered the beauty of the Gita?

Seems to me that Gita is your GF/Wife .......?

This is corrupt thoughts about spirituality just like modern day sadhus who sleep with GFs and make tons of money for themselves. If you really care about Gita and spirituality what are you doing here chasing dollars. You should be back in India and live a true sanyasi life.

Oh man! Landed here in 1998. But your PD is 2008 and IN EB3?!?!? Originally Posted by kalinga_sena * Landed here on jan 1st, 1998 (F1) Survived 2 recessions No hope as labour filled in eb3 You must be the oldest person in this thread as well. :D

If they are such smart to calculate numbers like you said, which is theoritically possible, they would not be creating mess like this for years.

Yes, it is easy for them to know how many applications are filed and from which country and how many are in which category etc etc. Based on visa numbers availability, they could very well process the applications are request the visa numbers from DHS. When USCIS handles all the 485 processing, then how come DHS is responsible for moving the dates in VB. It is insane and ridiculous for DHS to have this functionality when they do not have any idea on 485 apps with USCIS. They are scewing up immigrants deliberately without transparency between them.

As I already stated, it is proven beyond the point that DOL and USCIS has only the ability to count the numbers. They do not even know exactly how much labor is pending by country. The same is true for I140 as well.

There is confusion even about how the count works. When your name is struck at FBI name check, it is not counted as backlog itself by USCIS anymore :( [I vaguely remember someone posting this quoting some reference from USCIS memo regarding reduction of processing times].

This is why in many cases you see the sudden forward movement in PD followed by heavy retrogression. Historically those who got approved when the PD is moved forward are always lucky.
